Happy Sunday

Good Afternoon Friends,
  How are you today? I couldn't say good words about the weather because from reports, I know some of you are getting inclement weather. Sure hope it isn't too bad and you're able to withstand it.
  It is suppose to rain tonight here and turn cold with a morning low of 30 degrees, 50 is the high. This pattern will hold until mid-week, then it starts to warm up again! Ugh, flu weather! 
  When I had some time, I stopped in to see what you have been up to and I want to let you know, you didn't disappoint. I've loved your decor` baking, and yummy things to intice the tummy! "You guys rock!"
 
 The holiday parade was yesterday however, I didn't cover it...I was so tired, I had to take a back seat; or, shall I say, a seat on my front porch. I left all that madness to the pro's!
  I slept in today, and feel a bit better, but Monday starts a new day with more holiday coverage. This will be my final week however, and then, I'm home to prepare for the children's homecoming. I have sought the help of my daughter Daun, who recently moved back to live here, to help me with everything. I am bracing for my grand's!
  James and I have missed visiting with you and he asked that I send his hello's and best wishes... Take care and wishing you the greatest of the season!

All The Best To You & Yours'

Hello

 Hi everyone, thought I'd pop in to say hello and to let you know I'm keeping busy. Today was a busy busy day...I had to cut it shorter than previous days because the ladies wanted to work longer.
  These ladies can work circles around me, hehehe! I can't stand too long because of my back, so I sit a while, then start again. They are very motherly and understands why I have to work this way. I am just so happy to be able to do so.
  My neighbor, Miss Betty has moved and I'm missing her too much. The house has sold and I am bracing myself for the new neighbors. Ugh!
  I got in around 5 PM tonight and I am tired. I'm going to take a hot shower to relax and get to bed. No early bird here tomorrow! Soon, my house will be full and I have to save my strength for this happy meeting! Take Care...
 
Wishing you a peaceful evening and rest well!
All The Best,
Loretta

Welcome, Welcome...

Well now... how in the world are you? I suppose it could be better, but what's the use of bellyaching about it, right?
  I wanted to give you a heads-up letting you know I will be away from my blog for a while, and hopefully by then I'll know what I'm going to do about this picture loading thingumabob!
  Ooops, I've been hanging around town folks all day, and the vernacular has rubbed off. Lol! Deadlines are coming from everywhere, and I been doing the bunny hop!
  Seriously, I will be quite busy with the newspaper and helping with all the coverage coming up during this holiday. I have a number of assignments that will keep me on my toes and also out on a couple. I'll stop in to say hello when possible...I can't help it...I have to keep in touch... LOL! 
  
Until then, keep creating and most of all, take good care!
Warm Regards,
Loretta
  

Happy Monday

Good Morning Friends,
  Things are starting to look-up at the Thomas house. The wound is better with no more swelling, it is a warm 62 degrees, with showers expected today...and I am wondering,
what happened to our cold weather?
  Once we get cozy by the fire, with 32 degree temp and feeling the cold...the next couple of days, we are back to the warm temps. Oh well, what can we do but enjoy what we have and be thankful. It could be worse, huh?
  So, what have you been doing...I know enjoying family and friends...eating (hope not too much) but, what else? I suppose I will have to visit to see what you have been up too, right? 
  While James was home for the long weekend, we went to an estate sale and picked up some goodies. I'll get them up later when I get pics of it. Ooops...is what I've gotten for up- loading pictures. I'm not sure how I am going to handle this so I'll think it over and decide how to proceed. 
  
Wishing you all a terrific Monday. Take good care!

Hello and...

 How are you today? I've been visiting your blogs but was unable to comment because once again, a visit to Doc's was necessary. My diabetes is causing the wound on my hand to heal slowly. I'm being really careful not to upset it, although, it is completely healed on the outside. 
  It is my right hand, and I have the hardest of time using my left hand. Doc went in and drained it again, because of swelling, so I'm back to square one. 
  I'm going to take it easy these few days James will be at home, and away from the blog for a while. Thanks so much fro visiting us and leaving such nice comments, hopefully, I will be able to get back to a routine soon. 
  Wishing you a wonderful time spent with friends and family...we all really do have so much to be grateful for!

Warm Regards,
James & Loretta
